    Summary

    “I’ve been watching you train in the morning.” His heart stops. “I have a very good view from Hylia’s altar.” He’s going to burst into holy flame, could swear he feels Dinraal’s fire licking at the base of his spine when Zelda flattens her palm atop his wildly beating heart. “You’re very good with that sword of yours.” He’s still struggling to process her words when Hyrule’s Princess lets her hand drag down to snap his belt buckle against trembling abdominals, and has only just gotten a grip on his heart rate by the time she turns on one heel to strut deeper into the Divine Beast.

    Hylia help him.

    Summary

    Gilraen gets short shrift. Next to Arwen, she's the most important woman in Aragorn's life, yet she doesn't appear anywhere except the appendix. This is my attempt to let her have her one moment in the sun, not that she asked for it, because she wouldn't. With a title like that, need I say that it's angsty?

    Summary

    Aragorn tightens his furs around him and brings up a knee to rest his chin on. Blades of grass bow and flatten beneath him when he shifts, and dew pools, drop by drop, in the echo of his footprint.

    “Do you feel as if we are being forced to move?” he asks.

    Aragorn often loses at chess. War and fatherhood teach him to win (and offer some unexpected insights along the way).
